How Il 10 Praeficed nj Royal Tables.
The strict ceremonial Of the dinners
Of Queen Victoria has not changed
since her assumption of the throne.
says Harper's Bazaar. A quarter OF an
hour before the time fixed for the re-
past--generally at 8 o'clock-all the
party invited to dine with the Queen
meet in the grand saloon, and form
themselves into a halfcircle about
the door where she is expected to
enter. The Queen on entering makes
a beautiful courtesy (for which she is
renowned } then bows to the gentle
men and gives her hand to the ladies,
who courtesy deeply. She then goes
in first to table, accompanied generally
by one of her sons. II any Imperial
or Royal person is present he sits at
her right hand. But even in the case
Of Gen. Grant she placed the Princess
Beatrice between them. The Queen
never removes her gloves during din
ner, except at state banquets. This is
a singular piece of etiquette, and one
would think it would be exactly the
reverse. Her gloves are new. of white
kid embroidered with black, never
worn but once, and become, after
using, the perquisites of the ladies in
waiting The Queen has small and
beautiful hand.
As soen as she has finished certain
"plat,' every one else stops eating of
it, as when she finishes her fish every
one else stops eating fish, etc. After
she has spoken to her guests on either
side, conversation may become general,
but in subdued tone, always defer
ring to the Sovereign. Sir Arthur
Helps, who was her Private Secretary.
used to tell an amusing anecdote Of
Leing snubbed by her for telling a
rather funny story down the table,
among the ladies-in- waiting, to relieve
the monotony Of dreary dinner, when
the Queen remarked: "What is itl
We are not amused" She has. how
ever, love of iun. and sometimes
laughs heartily.
The dinners at the Quirinal arc far
more simple as to etiquette. The
same formality is observed in the en-
trance OF the King and Queen, but
the conversation is more general and
the Queen does not wear her gloves
She converses in English fuently.
The King only speaks Italian and
French, so the conversation is gener-
ally in these two languages. French,
Of course, is supposed to be universal
language.
The dinners of Germany are not
long, but are formal and tedious, and
the cooking does not commend itself
to all tastes.
The perfection Of dinner is found
in London, generally at the houses of
Ambassadors, who combine the excel
lences Of all nations with the follies of
none. After asking the consents Of
ladies present, the Italian and Turkish
Embassies allow the smoking of cigar
cites between the salad and dessert.
This fashion prevails in France and
Russia, ladies smoking quite as freely
as men. The dinners of the Gar and
the richer Russion princes are models
of their kind. 1t was the Russians
who invented the idea Of serving the
dishes I'll from the outside, hence
service Ia Russo, which preven t. the

AN alleged will Of the late deceased
Fannin county millionaire, Col. Tom
C. Bean, has been received by Col. r.
II. Taylor of Bonham. The letter
bearing the will was mailed on the
Santa Fc road between Gainesville
and Galveston August 18th, 1887, and
addressed to G.. M. Smith and Taylor
Not being called for, the letter was
sent TO the department at Washing
ton from whence it was sent to Col.
Taylor. 1t is looked upon generally
as a base fabrication and very poor
ly executed fraud. In its apportion-
ments one half of tho estate is be-
quathed to Mrs. Nancy G. Gee, OF
Washington county, the remaining
halfdivided and distributed as follows :
One-fifth to the churches of Fannin
county, one-fifth to old slaves of the
executor, one-fifth TO the poor chill
dren of Fannin county, one-filth to G..
NJ. Smith and Robert III. Taylor, for
services rendered in settling up the
estate and one-ffth to Fannin county.
The instrument is dated August 10Th,
1887. The Bean estate will be taken
up by the court the 28th inst, but the
alleged will Is not likely to cut the
shadow OF figure in the case, though
1t appears to have been gotten up with
a view to pleasing Fannin county peo'

A New Way to Hunt Rabbits.

There are some remarkable hunters
In the neighborhood of Sand cut. says
dispatch from Scranton, Pa. They
have a way OF their own of hunting
rabbits. A ferret is sent into the rab.
bits hole and net thrown over the en-.
trance. Then the brave hunter stands
near the net with an uplifted club. After
the ferret has got into the hole the
rabbit comes scampering out in bis
effort to escape. 1t gets entangled in
the net, and all the great sportsman
has to DO is to hit 1t on the head with
the club Some Of these wonderful
rabbit hunters use no nets. trusting to
their accuracy of aim and swiftness Of
arm to lay the rabbit low the minute 1t
sticks its head out Of the ground. In
this way scores of rabbits for the
Scranton market are slaughtered every
week up In the Sand cut and Goldsbore
regions ..- -

THE TAX REDUCTION.

The TcXarkana Times defends Hon.
b. Gibbs from the charge of tho
press generally that he Is Hopping
over to the protectionists. The Times
says Mr.. Gibbs iavors revision OF
the tariff aud MI abolition of tho lax
on tobacco and liquors. So does Mr..
Randall, or any other protectionist. A
revision of the tariff need not be re-
duction of it, or reduction on neccs
saries or manufactured goods pro-
tected; but reduction of the inter-
nal revenue tax has no uncertain
meaning. The removal of tax on to-
bacco and liquors, which are not nee
essarics, but luxurious evils, would
cause very large reduction in the
revenue, about the amount of the
surplus, and then the protectionists
would claim that the tariff, as 1t is,
would be necessary for revenue to
run the government. The protection
lists know that the abolition of the
internal revenue tax on tobacco and
liquor would take from the revenue
reformers their greatest argument in
favor of sweeping reduction OF the
unjust protective tax Oh the neces-
sarics Of life. Briefly summed up:
The protectionists favor reduction
of the excessive tax which is piling
up surplus millions in the treasury, by
removing the internal revenue tax on
tobacco and liquors, while the tariff
rcformers want to do away with the
excessive taxation by reducing the
tariff OH clothing, blankets, hats, glass
ware, stoneware, tinwarc, sugar, cof-
fee, salt, ETC., which operates to the
protection OF manufacturers just
the amount of the tariff, often from 20
to so per cent.
In about half the instances, the for
eign manufacturer is not excluded
from this market by the tax, aud
where the tax does not operate to ex-
clude him, aud his goods come in, the
tariff is paid by the importer and
then by the consumer, and goes into
the treasury. But, in the many in
stances where the high tariff operates,
as is desired, to exclude foreign manu-
features from this market, the tariff
does not find Its way into the treas
ury, but is added to The price Of the
American manufactures, and goes i'll
to The pocket Of the manufacturer
For instance O blanket that Manches
ter England, manufactures could sell
here for 81 is taxed 100 per cent ;
that excludes the English blanket
from this market, and allows the
manufacturer who
could sell his also at s., to sell 1t at
S1.95, thus being "protected" against
fair competition at the expense of the
poor man who buys the blanket
Those who favor a reduction Of the
revenue accumulating in the treasury
by first abolishing the tax OH liquors
and tobaccos, facility favor the unjust
protective tax on necessaries.
